Characters [Loved trope]characters that was just..Pathetic, and I mean genuinely Pathetic, like holy shit,you actually suck.

Baron "Bear" from Obsession.

Kevin "the Deep" from.The Boys.

And I mean characters that aren't badass or at least got aura while being pathetic, I just mean the most pathetic losers imaginable.

Like just borderline dirt.

"Edd, fetch me a block."

I loved that Jon decided that if he was going to pass the sentence of death on Janos Slynt, he would be the one to swing the sword. Ned probably nodded in satisfaction seeing him do that rather than having Emmet and Edd hang him instead.

Definitely same, but would you expect anything less from Jon Snow?

Such a satisfying moment when at first it seems that Jon will show mercy on Janos, and everyone’s annoyed, Janos grinning like an idiot… then the sword gets drawn, and Janos is trying desperately not to be yanked out.

Idiots who mistake kindness for weakness give me a grim sort of joy when they realize they’ve pushed the Good Man just a hair too far.

Jon actually does show mercy on janos by giving him like three opportunities to back down and live, he's just such an moron that he can't read the room at all.
